What our students are saying

  • Making Recertification Accessible

    “I was really worried because in my area there is no where I can go to get a recertification. The closest locations are normally a days drive away and I didn't have the time for that. So I searched for anything else that I could find and found Base Medical... The course material was very well done, the testing did an amazing job of reminding you of what was important, and I could go at my own pace.

    I think they went over some of the material better than the hands on courses I have taken at times.

    Thank you so much for creating this for those like me who don't have the option of doing hands on training.”

    -Erin Q

  • Instructors that Stand Out

    These instructors were incredibly knowledgeable, never condescending or arrogant and were a complete joy to work with. I felt like they’re ability to engage us without being annoying or over enthusiastic created an environment that made our group interested and motivated for each task.

    -Kellie, Moab

  • Supporting the SAR Community

    "Base Medical SAR programs are such an excellent resource, especially for those of us who look for training above and beyond our monthly team trainings. Thank you for enriching my role as a SAR responder in a relevant and economical way. I appreciate it!!"

    -Jill Olie, Elkhorn SAR (MT)

  • Essential Education

    "You presented good ideas around decision-making. This course and your Helo course ought to be mandatory for many units."

    -Bob Coleman, King County SAR (WA)

  • Relevant and Comprehensive Courses

    “I really appreciate the ability to obtain recertification of my WFA online, since to do so in-person was not possible. I felt the course outline and instruction presentation was well done, very methodical, comprehensive, and relevant to the realities of outdoor recreation. Thanks again! “

    -Sheeba N.

  • Ideal for all SAR levels

    "This course was excellent for beginners like myself. Covering all areas of safety, it explained everything in great detail. I highly recommend this course for beginners, as well as seasoned SAR team members with helicopter experience.”

    -Stephanie Philips, Indiana Search and Rescue Response Team

  • Industry Leading Experience

    I have recommend Base Medical to friends and acquaintances since my first introduction to them, for the past 6 years. The online portion is thorough and easy to follow. The practical part is bar none. This whole experience makes me want to become more involved in making sure people can have a safe and enjoyable experience in the backcountry.

    -Shelby, Moab

  • Real Life Applications

    Thank you for a very helpful day to training. I have already used my experience in the class for my day to day work with children. I appreciate having the confidence to take care of students in an outdoor setting.

    -Katie, McMinnville OR
